I’m getting this error:
{
"code": 42210000,
"message": "invalid timeframe: period number is larger than the allowed maximum of 1"
}
with the following request:
http://data.alpaca.markets/v2/stocks/bars?timeframe=5Day&start=2016-01-01T00:00:00Z&symbols=spy,qqq
However, in the documentation it clearly states that the limit is 31 for the “Day” timeframe - Historical Data | Alpaca Docs
Anyone else experiencing this or am I missing something? Any help is much appreciated!
@Gergely_Alpaca Looks like your assumption about some features (NDay
values for the timeframe
parameters) usage was wrong 
@guso1330 There was a breaking change in this API not announced widely. You are unable to use the 5Day
string for the timeframe
parameter anymore. Only the 1Day
option is valid now.
@guso1330 Please try “1Week” instead of “5Day” and see if that fits your requirements.
Appreciate the responses @oleg.rakhmatulin and @Gergely_Alpaca. Gergely, I just tried 1Week and 1Month and both worked, so what are the timeframe and period values/limits now? The documentation still reflects the old values.
